Steve,
Fine on having the Icom microphone. Do you have the bias resistor
installed?
If that is an Icom HM7 you should have an 820 ohm resistor between the
+5V pin and pin 1.
If it is an HM-12/22/23/36 the bias resistor should be 10k
If you have an Icom microphone with a preamp you need to connect 5V to
pin 2.

Hi,
I recently purchased a K2 from a ham. It was supposed to be in great
condition. It came with a few options and no mic.
I have the radio, and it makes noise like it is doing CW. I figured it was
working even though I have made no contacts and the reverse beacon has not
spotted me.
I pulled the front so that I could verify how the mic was set. It is set for
an Icom mic. I bought an Icom mic to use on it. Tried making contacts, no
answer back.
I now think that I was taken. I have not made a single contact. I feel bad
and am starting to not like Elecraft K2. My Yaesu FT-817nd works well and I
make tons of contacts with it, using same antenna as with the K2.
I figure that I need to send it to somebody who can check it out and tell me if
it is OK and also fix it if there is a problem. I'm not sure that there is a
problem, but I want to make sure.
Thank you and 73,
Steve Nielsen
